Mellotronists

Hi Babz,
As you've probably guessed I have MTron and I find it interesting 
and useful. I suppose I'm lucky to have a real tron too (M300) so I 
can use MTron as a second. I've never hear the Pinder CD which is 
the other main virtual tron so I can't compare the 2 although we've 
had this discussion many times on the list and I think the 
concensus is that the Pinderton cd is much better. But for the price!
Some of the MTron sounds are a bit rough others okay. I 
particularly like the Chamberlin solo female voice - nice for 
Entangled together with the real tron 8-voice choir!
I have to say the Birotron sounds are a pile of crap!
